Trip to the World Botanical Gardens..

This past weekend I went to the World Botanical Gardens in Hakalau on the Hamakua Coast of Hawai'i Island. It was a photo outing planned by the Kona Camera Club. We were also joined by two prominent photographers Ken and Kary Goodrich from Hilo. At first I wasn't looking forward to it due in part to it being on the Hilo side of the island and the Hilo side is very wet and has a higher potential for rain than the Kona side does. Also I hate mosquitoes but I digress. It was a beautiful sunny warm Hawaiian day and I had some really good anti-mosquito repellant spray so I had nothing to complain about.

After getting a slow start walking around the 26 acres property I started finding little gems to shoot. It's an amazing place filled with countless plants, trees, flowers, water falls etc... I thought that maybe I should follow one of the other photographers to get inspiration but the group quickly broke-up and fanned out in all directions so I started roaming around and, who knew, I started finding my own little gems that I started snapping.

I really wanted to go outside today but so far the rain is keeping me indoors. so here are a few photos from this weekend's garden shoot. Hopefully the rain will let up and I'll be able to bring you some big wave photos from Kona.

Enjoy!

Spring is around the corner

As spring approaches thoughts turn to getting outside to enjoy the nice weather. Unless you live in Hawaii. If not and you're planning to visit Hawaii why not have a family or couples portrait taken during your stay.

Head Shots anyone?

Head shots are a valuable communications tool. They can be employed by artists, actors and actresses, professionals like Doctors and Lawyers, employees and last but not least by online daters. When the situation calls for being able to communicate your appearance a well photographed head shot can be just the thing you need to tell your story. Whether you're applying for a big part in a TV show or giving your fans a glimpse of you for your next book or introducing yourself to your future long term partner a well produced head shot can give you the winning edge.
